ah...would you mind telling the Q ?

OK, I'm sorry.
The question is: why the directory "/usr", "/etc" and so on are owned by a normal user?
Thank you!

Why they're owned by a normal user? That's difficult to know, you could've used chown command in a wrong way, installed a badly made package (this can happen if you made a package in wrong way, Slackware official and Linuxpackages.net are always checked) which someway changed your permissions, installed a program which handle permissions in a wrong way, etc.
It will be likely a bad made package, since the directories that has wrong permissions are the ones that software use to install itself.
It's sad to say, but reverting the permissions won't be easy if they were changed recursively that means the owner changes affected all under those directories (just get into /usr and make another ls to check this), there was a discussion about this some days ago where there was a link to a script that could handle this mostly automatically (only worked for official slackware packages).

Thank you gbonvehi.
Now I know why it is. I had a d4x rpm package, and I do "rpm2tgz" with normal user, then "su -", "installpkg d4x*tgz", so it change the related dirctories' permissions.
I solve it like this: remove d4x and make another tgz package with root, then install it.

Glad it worked :)
To avoid problems with rpm2tgz like the on you had, you can try first looking for Slackware packages here: http://www.linuxpackages.net/
Example, this is d4x Slackware package: http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_...e=d4x&ver=10.1
